The single had been released on two previous occasions, as We’ve got tonite in 1979 and 1982, but had failed to enter the top 40.

Two other versions have entered the top 40. The first, by Kenny Rogers and Sheena Easton, reached number 28 in 1983 and then Ronan Keating and Lulu took their recording to number 4 in 2002.
